Need more proof that YouTube ’s top content creators are
increasingly pervading mainstream entertainment? And becoming
filthy rich in the process? Look no further than Timothy
DeLaGhetto, whose comedic videos have garnered him 2.5 million
subscribers as well as a regular spot on MTV’s Wild ‘N
Out.

But for his latest video, DeLaGhetto’s sought a more personal
touch -- while inadvertently providing a rare glimpse into the
money-making prospects for the world’s most popular YouTubers.

The son of Thai immigrants, DeLaGhetto -- whose real last name is
Chantarangsu -- surprised his parents on camera with a check for
$340,000 to pay off their mortgage. His mother, speechless, burst
into tears.

DeLaGhetto’s " six-figure " channel is repped by the
YouTube multi-channel network (MCN) Maker Studios, which was
sold to Disney for $500 million in March.
In addition to holding stock in the company, DeLaGhetto
told ABC that “his income is primarily driven by
advertisements from his YouTube channel.”

“One of the main reasons why I go so hard at this entertainment
grind,” says DeLaGhetto in the video, which already counts more
than 1 million views, “is because I’m trying to make it so they
don’t have to work so hard.”
